Make banlist collaboration easier by offering to preview effects before subscribing

Open bkil opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

  • We already protect dozens of rooms based on an existing ban list.
  • We would like to subscribe to a new ban list from another trustworthy operator.
  • Before we subscribe, we would like to make sure that the new ban list will not have any adverse effect in our protected rooms.
  • mjolnir should ask for a confirmation upon subscription if any existing users would be affected by new Server ACL or ban rules.

The same kind of confirmation or preview function should be provided in any other case when mjolnir starts moderating.

For example, when you protect a new room or after the permission level of the bot is promoted within a given room that allows it to complete a new type of action (i.e. banning or server ACL).

#240 is also related in that newly introduced ban rules could be tested against or grouped by the seniority of the affected user.

I.e., it might be less dangerous if a new ban rule only applied to users who joined recently or who have never spoken in the past, because those may very well be puppets themselves.
